The drought in California has made everyone aware of the value of water. The water utility industry, made up of municipally owned and privately owned utilities, have the responsibility of supplying water to households and businesses. The utility industry is facing serious challenges, however, such as water scarcity, increasing cost of supplying safe and reliable water, financing and building advanced metering infrastructure. Just as important is the challenge of educating the public that it will have to pay more for water. Here are some of the best water utility companies TheStreet Quant Ratings says you should consider looking at. Number 3 is Middlesex Water Company. With an 'A' rating, the company's strengths can be seen in its revenue growth and increase in net income. 2nd is, American States Water Company. This rating is also an 'A.' American States Water thrives in its solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. Number 1 is American Water Works Company. With an 'A' rating the company flourishes in its revenue growth and increase in net income. TheStreet Ratings are algorithmic stock picks based on 32 major data points. S&P 500 stocks rated 'buy' yielded a 16.5% return in 2014, beating the S&P 500 TotalReturnIndex by more than 300 basis points. For the full reports on these stocks, you can check out TheStreet.com/QuantRatings.

TRANSCRIPT
We see smart water metering really becoming a larger part of what the projects are and what the clients are doing. AMI, Advanced Metering Infrastructure, has a lot of potential to bring a lot of value to utility.
It's really about trying to get it beyond just being efficiency from a billing standpoint. Its about, can I use that data and that information to make better decisions about how I produce water and when I produce water. How can I use that same data to drive efficiencies from an operations standpoint? Can I also put that data in the hands of my customers so they can make better decisions that can ultimately lead to conservation from a systems standpoint?
Data analytics can help utilities by really gaining operational efficiencies. Some of those operational efficiencies can ultimately maybe defer some of the capital investment. The capital investments we do need, the data analytics can provide the background that we need to justify those spends in capital as well as operations.
Data analytics and asset management really go together like a hand in glove. It's that data that's coming from a smart grid that's from the meters and from the distribution system in the pressures and pumps that ultimately helps a utility make risk based decisions about asset management. If we can drive decisions about doing the right thing at the right time, that's ultimately what we're trying to do from an asset management standpoint.

Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth, 96.5% of the planet's crust water is found in seas and oceans, 1.7% in groundwater, 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland, a small fraction in other large water bodies, and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation. Only 2.5% of this water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice (excepting ice in clouds) and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the Earth's freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. A greater quantity of water is found in the earth's interior.

Utility

In economics, utility is a measure of preferences over some set of goods and services. The concept is an important underpinning of rational choice theory in economics and game theory, because it represents satisfaction experienced by the consumer of a good. A good is something that satisfies human wants. Since one cannot directly measure benefit, satisfaction or happiness from a good or service, economists instead have devised ways of representing and measuring utility in terms of economic choices that can be measured. Economists have attempted to perfect highly abstract methods of comparing utilities by observing and calculating economic choices. In the simplest sense, economists consider utility to be revealed in people's willingness to pay different amounts for different goods.

Applications

Utility is usually applied by economists in such constructs as the indifference curve, which plot the combination of commodities that an individual or a society would accept to maintain a given level of satisfaction. Utility and indifference curves are used by economists to understand the underpinnings of demand curves, which are half of the supply and demand analysis that is used to analyze the workings of goods markets.

The drought in California has made everyone aware of the value of water. The water utility industry, made up of municipally owned and privately owned utilities, have the responsibility of supplying water to households and businesses. The utility industry is facing serious challenges, however, such as water scarcity, increasing cost of supplying safe and reliable water, financing and building advanced metering infrastructure. Just as important is the challenge of educating the public that it will have to pay more for water. Here are some of the best water utility companies TheStreet Quant Ratings says you should consider looking at. Number 3 is Middlesex Water Company. With an 'A' rating, the company's strengths can be seen in its revenue growth and increase in net income. 2nd is, American States Water Company. This rating is also an 'A.' American States Water thrives in its solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. Number 1 is American Water Works Company. With an 'A' rating the company flourishes in its revenue growth and increase in net income. TheStreet Ratings are algorithmic stock picks based on 32 major data points. S&P 500 stocks rated 'buy' yielded a 16.5% return in 2014, beating the S&P 500 TotalReturnIndex by more than 300 basis points. For the full reports on these stocks, you can check out TheStreet.com/QuantRatings.

Jeff Neeman, Water TreatmentTechnologyDirector at Black & Veatch, explains how technology can help create a Smart WaterUtility. Learn more: http://bv.com/reports
TRANSCRIPT
We see smart water metering really becoming a larger part of what the projects are and what the clients are doing. AMI, Advanced Metering Infrastructure, has a lot of potential to bring a lot of value to utility.
It's really about trying to get it beyond just being efficiency from a billing standpoint. Its about, can I use that data and that information to make better decisions about how I produce water and when I produce water. How can I use that same data to drive efficiencies from an operations standpoint? Can I also put that data in the hands of my customers so they can make better decisions that can ultimately lead to conservation from a systems standpoint?
Data analytics can help utilities by really gaining operational efficiencies. Some of those operational efficiencies can ultimately maybe defer some of the capital investment. The capital investments we do need, the data analytics can provide the background that we need to justify those spends in capital as well as operations.
Data analytics and asset management really go together like a hand in glove. It's that data that's coming from a smart grid that's from the meters and from the distribution system in the pressures and pumps that ultimately helps a utility make risk based decisions about asset management. If we can drive decisions about doing the right thing at the right time, that's ultimately what we're trying to do from an asset management standpoint.

HDR collaborated with the City of Meridian to develop an educational animation for the Drinking WaterUtility. The animation, titled "It Starts at Home: Meridian’s Water Utility," was created to educate the public on drinking water sources, treatment, and distribution. The viewer is taken on a journey from a the water supply, through the distribution system to a typical house. The animation discusses small actions that citizens can take to conserve water supply and protect water quality. The city's goal was to help residents understand that what they do has a direct impact on how Meridian manages their water utility.
